CVE-2026-41067 · Astro: XSS via incomplete `</script>` sanitization in `define:vars` allows case-insensitive and whitespace-based bypass
This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.
Astro is a web framework. Prior to 6.1.6, the defineScriptVars function in Astro's server-side rendering pipeline uses a case-sensitive regex /<\/script>/g to sanitize values injected into inline <script> tags via the define:vars directive. HTML parsers close <script> elements case-insensitively and also accept whitespace or / before the closing >, allowing an attacker to bypass the sanitization with payloads like </Script>, </script >, or </script/> and inject arbitrary HTML/JavaScript. This vulnerability is fixed in 6.1.6.
